Hello all,

 
I recently picked up a Mac IIx with an EtherPort II card, and I can't seem to get ethernet up and running on it. I've tried various things, including getting OpenTransport 1.3 installed, AppleShare Client 3.7.2. I've tried drivers from these two websites:

http://www.3rz.org/mirrors/macdrivermuseum/network.shtml
 
None of my efforts have gotten ethernet to show up in TCP/IP settings and I was wondering if anyone could give me any pointers. I've consulted a number of websites to assist with this process, but nothing is paying off:

It's perhaps worth noting that I have an AUI to RJ45 converter and it seems to be working just fine. My OS is System 7.5.3 (unfortunately 7.6 isn't compatible with the IIx). Does anyone have any alternative suggestions or can point me in the direction of drivers that work better than those already tried? Thanks!
 
Regards,
